This is a decorative foldable gift box which you can use to gift small presents, decorate your desk, put under a tiny Christmas tree, store candies, and whatever you can think of. This design features a box base and a lid that fit together. I designed it so that it requires no glue, tape or screws; minimal purge waste to print; different designs to choose from; and two sizes, the smaller one being able to fit on an A1 mini. It uses a single layer thin living plastic hinges and tabs that allow you to fold and snap it together to a sturdy box (as sturdy as a thin layer of plastic that is) and is surprisingly strong! Since it prints flat and folds up, the designs can come from Hueforge and only requires multicolor filament changes at layers which significantly reduces purge waste! This also means that an AMS is not required but is helpful. Unfortunately, the sizes are a bit small as you can only fit so much of a foldable design on the print bed.

Assembly Instructions
When removing your print from the print bed, please be gentle and slow. The living hinges are thin and can be torn off if you aggressively remove the print. If using a textured or hot plate, please wait for the plate to cool completely first before removal. If using a plate with high adhesion where you need to peel or pry it off because bending the plate doesn’t work, consider using a medium for easy release like a glue stick or hair spray. Please see documentation for bigger versions of these pictures.
